Where's June?

If you've visited this blog before (thank you!), you know how much I've enjoyed the old chicken nesting boxes in our family room. 

If you're a new visitor (so glad you're here!), just a bit of background... I spotted the nesting boxes at a favorite antique shop. Tried to forget about them, but couldn't. My husband, kind man that he is, drove his truck to the shop and picked them up for me for my birthday.


We use the nesting boxes for display and storage. 

I love the aged tin patina and the touch of farm they add inside. 

For Christmas, I hung our boys' advent buckets from the roosting bars...


Last night, I saw a strange site (look closely)...


Our 8-year-old, Noah, walked by and without missing a beat said, 
"Oh, hi June. Did you just lay an egg?" :)

It's getting weird over here. 

Tell me we're not alone! 
Anything funny or unusual happening at your place?!

{A Sampling} 2014 DIY Projects


As 2014 wraps up, I just want to ThAnK YoU for being here! 

Blogging is new to me this year... I started blogging in April. And, as is often the case when we're starting something new, I wasn't always sure whether or not this blogging thing would "take" or if I could fit it into our busy family schedule.

You, reading along, have encouraged me to continue. It's been a blessing for me to get to know bits of your stories. I'm so appreciative for this creative outlet in my life. To share the joy of "nesting" with you is a gift to me.

Thank you, friends.


Here are a few of the projects I enjoyed working on 
this year, in the order they are shown above:
